Gun barrel taper for attaching threaded accessories

ABSTRACT

The adding of a taper at the end of the handgun barrel having a threaded end for accessories that matches an opposing taper in an accessory to enable more precision in the alignment of the accessory on the handgun barrel and a more secure interface is disclosed.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

The present application claims the benefit of previously filedco-pending Provisional Patent Application, Ser. No. 63/337,740 filed onMay 3, 2022.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The device of this disclosure belongs to the field of handgun barrelattaching devices. More specifically it is a tapered handgun barrel tomake a more secure interface between the handgun barrel and an attachedaccessory.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the prior art many handgun barrels are made with a threaded end toallow for attachment of various accessories such as thread protectors,compensators, or a booster for a suppressor.

As these accessories require more precise and secure interfaces with thehandgun barrel this invention of adding a taper at the end of the barrelthat matches an opposing taper in the accessory enables an advance inprecision of the alignment and a more secure interface.

The invention of this disclosure, consisting of opposing tapers betweenthe handgun barrel and the accessory, enables more precision in thealignment and a more secure interface of an accessory on a handgunbarrel.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The device of this disclosure belongs to the field of weaponry. Morespecifically in the invention of this disclosure the adding of a taperat the end of the handgun barrel before a threaded end that matches anopposing taper in the accessory enables more precision in the alignmentand a more secure interface.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention,reference should be made to the following detailed description, taken inconnection with the accompanying drawings, in which:

FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment diagram of the handgun assembly ofthis disclosure.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

As discussed above, through the use of a taper at the end of a handgunbarrel, threaded on accessories can be mounted with more precision and amore secure interface. Attachments might include a thread protector,compensator, or a booster for a suppressor. The taper will allowaccessory attachments to mount with near perfect concentricity and alsocreate a locking interface.

More specifically as shown in FIG. 1 of the preferred embodiment deviceof this invention a handgun barrel (1) that has a threaded end (2) foraccessories (not shown) also includes a taper (3) before said threadedend at the end of the handgun barrel (1) such that when accessorieshaving an opposing taper (3) of similar angle and depth are screwed ontothe threaded end (2) of the handgun barrel (1) the opposing tapers (3)allow attachments to mount with near perfect concentricity and alsocreate a locking interface.

Since certain changes may be made in the above-described device thatuses a taper on a handgun barrel without departing from the scope of theinvention herein involved, it is intended that all matter contained inthe description thereof shall be interpreted as illustrative and not ina limiting sense.

What is claimed is:
 1. A tapered end on a handgun barrel having a threaded end for attaching accessories allowing for improved concentricity and locking interface comprising: a handgun barrel; said handgun barrel having a threaded end; said handgun barrel having a taper before said threaded end of said handgun barrel; and, such that when accessories having an opposing taper of similar angle and depth of said handgun barrel taper are screwed onto said threaded end of said handgun barrel, said opposing tapers allow said accessories to contact and mount with concentricity to said handgun barrel and also create a locking interface between said accessory and said handgun barrel.
